Houston City Council Candidates Forum- Voter
Verifiable Paper Ballot Tuesday, Oct. 25 7:30 p.m.
Rice University
The Rice University Young Democrats and The
Progressive Populist Caucus of the Texas Democratic
Party invite Houston City Council candidates to hear a
brief presentation on the Election Reform Committee of
the Harris County Democratic Party's position
regarding the necessity for a voter verifiable paper
trail with our Hart Intercivic electronic voting
system.
We will then encourage questions and dialogue from
city council candidates on this issue.
The City of Houston has the authority to build such
items into its contracts for voting systems/services
used in city elections provided by Harris County and
therefore Council members can influence the direction
of such a requirement.
Location: Rice University, Duncan Hall, McMurtry
Auditorium located inside Entrance One at the
intersection of Main and Sunset. When you the reach
Founder's Court (the lawn in front of Lovett Hall that
terminates the main drive), Duncan Hall is visible to

Visitor parking is available in the lots on either
side of the Founder's Court. A credit card is
required.
